- MATH AND SCIENCE for Windows, Version 3.0
-
- Purpose: In MATH AND SCIENCE, the first five programs are
- aimed at Grades 1 through 6 and help teach the four basic
- arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction,
- multiplication, and division. The last five programs
- present real-world applications of physics and math - great
- ideas for science fairs! For kids aged 9 to 16.
-
- The first four programs give you the option of solving a
- randomly generated problem or one you enter. You also have
- the option of solving the problem yourself or having the
- computer show you, in a step by step fashion, how to solve
- the problem. In Addition Tutor, you get practice in adding
- from 2 to 6 numbers (with 1 to 6 digits each). Subtraction
- Tutor provides column subtraction problems. The program
- gives optional practice in 'borrowing' concepts.
- Multiplication Tutor helps you learn how to multiply numbers
- with up to five digits. You enter your answers just like
- you work them on paper - column by column. In Division
- Tutor, you obtain help in solving long division problems.
- Problems are solved just like you would on paper and
- remainders are optional. In Flash Card Math, you get
- practice in all the above skills. The level of problem
- difficulty can be varied and, based on performance, the
- computer will encourage moving to different skill levels.
- Also has optional timer.
-
- Circuits allows you to build electric circuits from
- batteries, switches, and light bulbs. See effects of
- different circuit types, burned out bulbs, etc. Levers
- teaches you about the three different lever types and forces
- required to balance them. Moon Lander gives practice in
- understanding concepts of speed and acceleration as you try
- to land on the moon. Study basic oscillations with Pendulum
- -- see effects of changing lengths, weight, and friction.
- Plots of motion are given. Water Wheel demonstrates the
- exciting world of chaotic dynamics. Examine wheel motion as
- different water flow rates are used.
-
- Installation: To install, run the SETUP.EXE program.
